A Wake 2019
1h 37m | Drama | 31 August 2021 (USA)
Storyline:The children in a religious family clash with their parents as they prepare for the wake of their brother, Mitchel. Teenage Mason desperately tries to reach his lost identical twin through spiritual means. Precocious preteen Molly meticulously organizes the event expecting everything to go exactly as planned. Megan, their older sister, returns home after a long absence, no longer interested in repressing the truth. Their Baptist grandmother and parents attempt to maintain normalcy when an unexpected stranger, Jameson, arrives — forcing the family to face secrets and lies around Mitchel’s death.User review:This movie was good. The family comes together at the request of the youngest child (who I think has OCD) to honor Mitchel who has passed potentially via suicide. Mason is trying to connect with his dead twin brother, however, he can. There are family issues with the the father afraid to face the truth, the stepmother who appears cold, the alcoholic older sister, the boyfriend, etc… it felt real without being exhaustive or extremely heavy. In the end you realize we’re all people trying to get through it.
